#CraveKimpton: Kimpton Hotels Celebrate 10 Years in DC

July 14th, 2011 | Josh Norris | Event Insider | No Comments

On I June 23, 2011 I attended CraveKimpton with the Travelling Bean’s Marcos Vieira. All 13 DC-area Kimpton properties joined to celebrate 10 years in the District.

I’ve truly never felt more welcome at a hotel function. From the moment we walked in we were given a warm reception, generous portions of food, and endless entertainment. In addition to the networking with Kimpton staff and regional event pros, it really was a fun evening.

One of the highlights for me was Kimpton’s Peek-A-Boo Rooms concept. In contrast to the typical obligatory venue tour, Kimpton took a creative approach. Rather than showing you unoccupied guest rooms, they hired actors to play the roles of hotel guests. A businessman paced about in a heated phone conversation, and in a second room, a couple romantically fed each other strawberries and sipped champagne. Watch the video below for a whirlwind tour of the most unique and fascinating hotel open house I’ve ever attended.
